Just Because It's So Cool

I know other people in our blogosphere neighborhood have shared this, but I just have to too.

Sheriff: Your rear end's on fire, Theodore.
Theodore: Oh. Thank you.
[Jumps and frantically slaps fire out; glares at Amos]
Theodore: Why didn't you tell me my rear end was on fire?
Amos: Well, you said not to do anything to attract attention.

Opinions ~ Movies

This is the first in a series of post about my opinions on just about everything. Movies, books, music, etc. This addition is movies that I don't like, or just don't care very much for.

(Note: I have not actually seen all these movies in their entirety.)


King Kong
Love triangles are weird enough. But when you have an overgrown mutant gorilla thrown in the triangle it's just plain gross.

Lord Of The Rings Trilogy
Highly overfaned and slightly overrated.

Daniel Deronda
Daniel: "I'm in love with two girls, who should I marry? Wait-I'm Jewish? Okay I'll marry the Jewish girl."

Oklahoma
Please explain to me how a simple farm girl and a rough cowboy manage to sing soprano and bass in perfect high class accents.

Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy
Living skeletons, Orlando Bloom with swoopy hair, really corny jokes, Octopus/human pirates and enough plot holes to be mistaken for Swiss cheese. And people are surprised that I don't love these movies.

Wurthuring Heights
I don't care if it's a classic. IT'S GROSS!!!

The Godfather
"Go to the mattresses" Wha-????

Titanic
Has anyone ever heard phrase "historically accurate" attached to this movie? I didn't think so.

The Tale of Despereaux
Hollywood insists on ruining sweet books. Drives me nuts

Ella Enchanted
Lillie and I loved this movie until they fell in love, then it was just mushy. We liked it better when they were at each other's throats, much more fun.

Loves's Unending Legacy
They killed Willie. What is their problem??????

The Phantom of the Opera
The singing is amazing. The story is atrocious.

Pride and Prejudice. (1940)
Producers: "I don't care it's a classic, let's change the story by making everybody 10 years older, and Lady Catherine nice in the end. Oh, and let's use left over costumes from Gone With The Wind."

Gone With the Wind
I have never seen this movie, but the plot summery on Wikipedia is enough of an explanation for me to keep it at arm's length.

All Arnold Schwarzenegger Movies
I will never understand how he got to be Governor of California.
